Guild Wars Character Profile: The Elementalist

GameSpot brings us another character profile for ArenaNet's Guild Wars, this time focusing on the game's Elementalist profession. A snip:
Elementalists are powerful wizards that command the very forces of nature to deliver devastating, damaging magics. Elementalists are quite possibly the most powerful damage-dealers in the whole game thanks to their command of the four elements: fire, air, earth, and water. Fire magic is the most obvious magic, and it includes the ability to conjure flames within an area, which leads to the damaging of groups of enemies all at once. Air magic, instead, focuses on individual targets, and it deals concentrated amounts of damage with lightning and electricity-based attacks. Earth magic is defensive in nature and can conjure up additional armor, while water magic can slow or even stop enemies in their tracks by freezing them.
